Do you really want the Federal Government in charge of your healthcare? If you have a beef with your medical bill, head for the nearest ObamaCare office (the one right next to Department of Motor Vehicles and the USPS), take a number, get in line, and eventually have it out with a bored bureaucrat who doesn’t know you from Adam and couldn’t care less about your personal problems.

She’ll eventually get back to you, or not. Nightmare!
